Answer:

The cash payment to be recorded is:

= $2,376.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

September 2, 2009: Merchandise order = $7,000

September 5, 2009: Merchandise received = $3,000

September 6, 2009: Freight-in 250

Terms of trade 3/10, net 30

September 10, 2009: Return of merchandise (800)

Total value of merchandise = $2,450

Cash discount (3% of $2,450) = 73.50

Cash payment = $2,376.50

b) The trade terms of 3/10, net 30 means that a discount of 3% is allowed when payment is made within 10 days of the purchase date or on or before September 11, 2009. This amounts to $73.50. Therefore, the net amount to be paid is $2,376.50 after deducting the calculated discount amount.
